Cthulhu

Chapter 145
After resting in the academy for two days, Cheng Cheng took Catherine out of the academy again, and Boxer, the killer, naturally didn't want to go on the same road with these little brats, so he went to Pingyang City in advance to touch Xiangjia's end.

With the temptation of the Holy Pill, Boxer took the matter of Mie Xiang's family as the top priority. As long as he had a Holy Pill, he could break through the bottleneck of the two-star Demon Venerable in the shortest time. Such a big temptation It was irresistible to him, and there was nothing wrong with asking him to kill the emperor's old son.

When passing by the city lord's mansion, Cheng Cheng wanted to go in and see the two cute little lolis Tangtang and Yinyin, but finally stopped the idea. If they were attached to him, he would never leave today and go to the city with Catherine rush outside.

Yuan Shijie is working hard to train his troops these days, because Cheng Cheng has given him an order that there will be a tough battle to fight.Just walked into the Hongfei Mansion where the Qunying Association trained soldiers, the mansion was named by Marylou, and in the spacious yard, the new recruits were stretching out to practice formation, their heads covered in sweat.

Since the implementation of the four divisions planned by Cheng Cheng, every new member of the Heroes Club has been training harder. Who doesn't want to have better treatment, who doesn't want to enter the ultimate Tianshi Division?

"Wow, I didn't expect Qunying to be so powerful." Catherine only knew that Qunying would have a force of a few thousand people, but she was a little surprised when she saw the completely military-style training in the arena. The wind of martial arts was very strong.

"It all depends on your sister-in-law's management. Let's go, I'll take you to see her." With that said, Cheng Cheng took her hand and walked towards the lobby of Hongfei Mansion.

Knowing that Cheng Sheng was going to take the members of the Heroes Association to the official expedition today, Marylou didn't even go to the auction house, but kept busy at home and baked a lot of pastries for him to eat.As soon as she entered the lobby, she brought out two exquisite flower baskets, handed them to Cheng Cheng and said, "This place is hundreds of miles away from Pingyang City, you take these with you and eat on the way."

A strong woman who is willing to become a little woman for a man proves that this man is excellent.Cheng Cheng took over two exquisite and small flower baskets, which contained sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, crispy cakes, and oil cakes, all of which he liked to eat, and they were baked delicately, making people salivate just by looking at them. A lot of effort.

"You have so many things to do to make pancakes for your man, aren't you afraid you'll burn yourself out?" The tone seemed to be reproachful, but Cheng Cheng was indeed moved.

"It doesn't take much time, and besides, I'm lazy and don't go to work to iron." Marylou looked very happy, and she didn't show too much with Catherine by her side. Then she pointed at her and asked suspiciously: "This brother yes?"

"The Catherine I told you is a monstrous character." Cheng Sheng remembered that he hadn't had time to introduce them to the two, and then said to Catherine, "Your sister-in-law is very capable."

Mary blushed and gave him a charming look. How could anyone praise herself like this in front of outsiders?He stretched out his hand to Catherine and said with a smile, "Hello."

Catherine shook hands with her and replied politely.

"Oh, brother Catherine's hands are so well maintained, they are even tenderer than mine." Seeing Catherine's tender and small hands, Marylou couldn't help but exclaim.

Catherine quickly withdrew her hand, blushing again, causing Marylou to giggle coquettishly, but she had heard Cheng Cheng talk about this shy little boy, and she didn't expect there to be such a cute boy, and she liked it so much .However, she didn't know that Catherine was a girl.

After chatting together, Marylou led the two of them out of the lobby and got good news. Yan Dong, one of the three brothers of the Yan family in the Asura Corps, broke through the bottleneck of the generals and successfully entered the ranks of the masters of the fighting emperor. Sheng was overjoyed.

It is a good sign that such good news shakes the army before leaving the army.

After finding several leaders, Yuan Shijie, the three brothers of the Yan family, and Zhu, Niu, Huo, and Pang gathered together to discuss the matter of this expedition to attack the Xiang family.In the end, Cheng Cheng decided to take the Asura Corps from the Haotian Division, and the Death God Blade from the Sky Slaughter Division would naturally go. This group of sharp-edged swordsmen is indispensable for such a mission.And the people from the Xintian Department only go to some, and those who have not broken through the Doushi can't go, and if they go, they will die in vain, so it's not worthwhile.

Yan Nan among the three brothers of the Yan family was also allowed to stay, mainly to protect Marylou and supervise the training of the members of the Xintian Department.

The matter was settled in this way, and the team set off for Pingyang City the next day, after a night of rest, Mary Lou sent it a few miles before returning.

"Shijie, what do you think of this attack on the Xiang family?" Sitting on the horse, Cheng Cheng asked the cousin.

"Commander, although the heroes will dispatch elite soldiers, they are not suitable for attacking the city. As far as I know, there are more than ten thousand elite soldiers in Pingyang City. If they attack the city forcefully, the heroes will definitely suffer countless injuries," Yuan Shijie said.

Although the Xiang family is a soft bone, it is not easy to chew on. Since the empire was chaotic and divided by the heroes, the Xiang family controlled Pingyang City and became a prince, maintaining neutrality, not relying on the Helian family or helping the Shangguan family, and becoming an independent city.There are many such cities in the Douwu Empire, and this is their cleverness. As long as one side wins, they will submit to that side, and they will still be able to guarantee the prosperity of the family.

These old, treacherous and cunning families are the real grass on the wall, and anyone who is tough can lean on them.Cheng Cheng nodded, Yuan Shijie thought the same as him, and continued to ask: "Then do you have a strategy for unplugging the Xiang family?"

"Of course there is. The inside should cooperate with the outside. First let some people sneak into Pingyang City and control the city gate, so that the army of the Heroes Association can enter the city smoothly." Yuan Shijie thought for a while and said.

"That's right, that's right, I'm thinking of going with me, hitting snakes and hitting seven inches, killing enemies and choking their throats. Just leave it to me to bring people into Pingyang City. The army is under your control. With magic firecrackers as a signal, the city As soon as the door opens, you immediately lead your army to attack the city and try to take Pingyang City in one fell swoop." He told Yuan Shijie the attack plan.

"No problem." Yuan Shijie also got the position of commander in chief in the army. If he didn't have the brains and the ability to lead an army, how could he lead a thousand soldiers?
"Do you know why I chose to take down Pingyang City?" After a moment of silence, Cheng Cheng asked again.

After thinking about it, Yuan Shijie said, "I don't know."

"First, the Xiang family is the weakest group of enemies of the Qunyinghui. After taking Pingyang City, they can continue to expand the strength of the Qunyinghui. Second, Pingyang City is the main throat for attacking the imperial capital. If the Xiang family is allowed to submit to Helian Home, when the time comes, it will be heavily guarded, and if you want to attack again, you will have to pay a huge price. Therefore, the Xiang family must be eliminated, and Pingyang City must also be captured." Eyes narrowed, concealing the light of wisdom.

After figuring out the importance of Pingyang City, Yuan Shijie immediately admired this cousin-in-law with all his heart, and his vision was too long-term.After a long silence, he asked, "Are you going to take Pingyang City and give a big gift to Shangguan's family?"

"Shangguan Yunfei is a good emperor. The empire has been thriving for more than [-] years, and all walks of life have developed rapidly. It's not just because of this. The enemy of the Heroes Association is the Helian family, and the enemy's enemy is a friend, so the Heroes Association has to take Go down to Pingyang City, and cooperate with the Shangguan family to destroy these rebellious officials and thieves." Taking a deep breath, I and the Helian family have formed a sworn feud, and one of them must die.

"Yes, only when the Helian family is wiped out can the Heroes' Association survive. If the Helian's family is allowed to sit in the right position, there will be no place for the Heroes' Association in the empire." Yuan Shijie also felt that this was inevitable and necessary.

A few hundred miles is actually not too far away. They marched in a hurry and arrived outside Pingyang City in three or four days. Afraid of being noticed by the spies of Pingyang City, Cheng Sheng, who was ten miles away, stationed the army of the Qunyinghui, and then let Zhu, Niu, Pang, Huo The four of them sneaked into Pingyang City in batches with the Death Blade, and picked out a dozen masters who had reached the military rank of the Bingxiu Legion, as well as Yan Dong, and sneaked into the city together. After entering the city, they gathered at the designated place.

The army outside was handed over to Yuan Shijie to lead.

The Reaper Blades of the Heaven Slaughter Department, led by Zhu, Pang, Niu, and Huo respectively, sneaked into the various gates of Pingyang City.The selected elite soldier and general of the Asura Corps, Yan Dong, was led by Cheng Sheng and Catherine, and turned into a group of merchants entering the city, heading towards Pingyang City.
